Fire protection for your shack

IK1ZYW Paolo wrote a very important topic in his blog. Fire protection in the shack. Never thought about it actually. Of course it will never happen. But if it does? Many radioamateurs have their computers and radio on 24/7 for WSPR, RBN, FAROS monitoring and there is not always someone that keeps an eye on things. Most likely fire will occur when there is a (old) electronic component failing. Electronics melt and are not too flammable but when something like paper is nearby it could easily get worse. Another cause would be lightning in the worst case. What to do when something like that happens? What is the best fire protection in the shack?

Hello! I use smoke detectors in my house for a long time. It saved life of my children. i don't use very expensive detectors. These one http://hardware.nl/rookmelder/brk/7010lbe.html However, yesterday I faced to the article about Fire Sprinklers!Do you know something about Fire Sprinklers? Till now I thought that smoke detectors are the best protection system, am I wrong?
